“(Laser scanning) has been a godsend for our designers to be able to “walk” through the building, who otherwise wouldn’t have due to COVID travel restrictions. It has allowed us to keep the project moving.”

“Having a model helped me to visualize a simple revision to the design that ended up saving a full 10 months out of the construction schedule. I am positive that I simply would have not noticed this potential if it weren’t for having the accurate scanned information at my disposal.”

“Using TrueScan to develop our initial Revit model was the smartest money we spent on the project. They developed a LOD-300 model for 76,120 SF of existing facilities and did exactly what we needed them to do – build three accurate Revit models we could use as the starting point for a complex renovation design.

“We had never used laser scanning or worked with a point cloud before. TrueScan – and in particular Jared – really held our hand at the beginning helping us learn to crawl before we learned to walk. He guided us through the whole process, before we even knew the questions we needed to be asking.””

“With your industry-leading technology and experience, I received my model under budget and quicker than going to the site for takeoffs and creating the Revit model in-house. We saved two full-time modelers a minimum of 4 to 5 weeks creating the existing building structure and MEP systems.”

FAQs

Can You Give Me a Price Per Square Foot?

In short, no.

Given the vast amount of variables that can affect the price of a project, we do not provide a price per square foot. Key elements influencing the price include the distance of the site from our location, the complexity of the space and project, and the specific construction details of the building. Each project is unique, so we assess these variables to offer a tailored quote that reflects the specific requirements and challenges of your project.

How Long Does 3D Laser Scanning Take?

Varies based on project size and scope

While 3D laser scanning involves some time, it is significantly faster compared to traditional hand-measuring methods. Our team of experienced surveyors, modelers, and engineers are highly skilled in geospatial work, ensuring that every piece of data is tailored specifically to your project in the most efficient way possible.

The duration of a 3D laser scanning project can vary depending on factors such as the size and complexity of the space, as well as the specific requirements of the project. Although there is no fixed timeline, our team is committed to delivering accurate and precise data that helps keep your project on track, within budget, and as stress-free as possible. We focus on providing you with the best results while ensuring that the process remains efficient and effective throughout.

How Do I Use This Data?

Revit Compatible Data

Our data offers a range of applications to support your project from start to finish. You can use it independently for initial assessments, or seamlessly integrate it with your existing blueprints and plan sets for enhanced accuracy. It is also compatible with Revit and other modeling software, enabling you to synchronize our detailed measurements with your digital models for improved precision and early detection of potential issues.

TrueScan’s data creates a complete digital reference point of your space that you can access anytime throughout your project. This detailed digital model aids in avoiding errors and reducing change orders by providing an exact understanding of your space before work begins. Our ultimate goal is to help you plan and execute your project with greater confidence and efficiency, ensuring a smoother and more successful outcome.
